To the Moon and Back Love Quote Counted Cross-Stitch Kit by Abris Art AHM-034

Stitch To the Moon and Back, a love-quote counted cross-stitch kit by Abris Art — a swirling purple galaxy cloud scattered with stars, a slim crescent moon, and the words "I love you to the moon and back" worked across white Aida. 17 colours of embroidery floss give the night sky a dreamy, painted depth.

A little stitcher's folklore: people have wished on the moon for as long as there have been people. Folk custom says to make your wish on a new moon so it can grow as the moon does — and needleworkers say that words stitched into a picture keep speaking long after they're said. Stitch this for someone, and they'll hear it every day.

Why this kit: if you want a keepsake with real meaning, this is one of the most heartfelt designs in the range — perfect for a new baby, a partner or a best friend. It's compact, the hoop is included and doubles as a frame, and it's very doable for a first-time stitcher.

Kit includes: 100% cotton Aida canvas, a cross stitch needle, 17 colours of embroidery floss on an organizer, a printed symbol chart, an embroidery hoop, and instructions in 8 languages.

Counted cross stitch is worked by following the symbol chart and placing each cross on the Aida grid with the matching floss colour. Build up the galaxy colours first, then add the moon, stars and lettering.

Finished size: 15×15 cm (5.91×5.91 in). Lovely nursery decor, and a heartfelt handmade gift for a partner, parent or child.
